TODD - Act 1 "V. Feast of Blood"

The chorus: Everybody, come on here! Who wants to see a fair trial! Hurry up! Come on! Yes, come here, here, here!

The Judge: There is no goodness without a loop and an ax! The justice triumphs today more than yesterday!

The Tramp: Hey, hangman, it is time!

The Judge: This is a real feast! Executions, executions, executions, executions! Everything in the world is dim, except blood, blood, blood, blood! Blood! Blood!

We execute cruelly, but the verdict is fair (...thief-thief...)! A tooth for a tooth, for an eye of an eye. The ax will decide for all! The ax of the executioner!

We will punish the evil of vices! A tooth for a tooth, for an eye of an eye! No other payments accepted, except for...

The chorus: Blood, blood, blood, blood! Except, except for blood, blood, blood! Feast, feast, feast! Executions, executions, executions!

The narrator’s voice: During an execution, Sweeney comes to the square. He wants to get to the Judge. He takes a razor out of his pocket, but someone stops him. This is Lovett. Once, being a little girl, Lovett fell in love with a handsome young barber. She was the only one, who recognized him, and she does not want him to get back in jail. In a little room above the patties bakery of Lovett, Sweeney opens a hairdressing saloon and from time to time just shaves his customers. One day, the Butcher, Lovett’s uncle, appears with a huge meat grinder, in which one can shove a whole sheep.
